or
Title change from "Applying WCAG 2.0 to Non-Web Information and Communications Technologies" to "Translating and Applying WCAG 2.0 to Non-Web Information and Communications Technologies"

The introductory text and the proposed draft clearly indicate that much of the normative text in WCAG 2.0 cannot be used for non-web ICT context without significant text replacement. The title "Applying WCAG 2.0 to Non-Web Information and Communications Technologies" is misleading given the substantial changes necessary for any attempt to apply WCAG 2.0 to non-web ICT. In fact, the first sentence of the introductory text used the term interpretation and application instead. We urge that the title of the document to be changed to "Interpreting and applying WCAG 2.0 to Non-Web Information and Communications Technologies" to prevent audience from being misled into believing that WCAG 2.0 can be applied as its current form to non-web ICT.
